In this edition of Tech Weekly, presented by Aleks Krotoski and Alex Hern, we tackle the rise of the crypto-currency Bitcoin.
Drawing on expert analysis by the Guardian's economics correspondent Phillip Inman, Mark Lamb from the Bitcoin exchange Coinfloor, leading Bitcoin community member Mike Hearn and Ben Edelman from the Harvard School of Business, we ask why this digital currency has grabbed so much attention and whether it is a viable global currency or a risky fad heading for the rocks.
To get the best out of this podcast we strongly recommend you watch our Bitcoin made easy video.
